Olive Oil Sampling prohibited the use of saponification for olive oil sample extraction and led to extensive research to develop sample One of the main difficulties encountered in reading the cleanup procedures to overcome insufficiencies of ultra violet published works on olive oils was the lack of precision on the detection for liquid chromatography methodology.[5] A cold geographical or varietal samples origins, their conditioning, saponification have been developed in the dark at room storage conditions, and storage time.

The oil saponification (realized with KOH at 80% for 10 min at 80 C) was rarely Various reviews on analysis methods of phylloquinone in food used[38] because of the instability of PH in basic medium.[5,41] have been published in the past and are cited by Fauler et al.[1] Then, oil samples have been generally purified prior to and Etienmiller et al.[5] Thin layer chromatography (TLC) was the chromatographic analysis to remove lipids that may interfere first chromatographic technique used for PH analysis. However, when detecting PH. This purification was often realised on a HPLC has replaced TLC because of its low sensitivity and the Sep-Pak (SPE) silica cartridge[12,18,22,23,39,42,49] and little on difficulty of quantifying small amounts of PH in food matrices. alumina column[48] and sometimes by semi preparative HPLC GC was not used frequently because of low volatility of PH which on μPorasil column.[19,21,37] The SPE extraction with silica required high analysis temperatures ( 300 C) leading to a cartridge was generally conducted in four steps: (i) a condition- possible degradation of phylloquinone in the chromatographic ing of the stationary phase by a wash of hexane or a mixture or system.[1] To avoid a non-negligible degree of PH degradation hexane/diethyl ether (96:4, v/v); (ii) a loading of the sample during GC analysis, Fauler et al.[1] advocated a reductive acylation frequently dissolved in hexane; (iii) washing (s) of the cartridge in presence of zinc dust, heptafluorobutyric anhydride, and with hexane to eliminate the less polar lipids and the heptafluorobutyric acid in hexane solution. According to the hydrocarbons; and (iv) and finally elution of the fraction works of Osman and Hannestad,[51] an intramolecular rear- containing PH with hexane/diethyl ether (96:4, v/v) or rangement (a shift of the β,γ-double bond on the phytyl side methanol/2-propanol/n-hexane (95:2.5:2.5, v/v/v) or hexane/ chain toward the ring) could be possible when PH was analyzed diisopropyl ether (90:10, v/v). In one case,[18] oil samples were in ethanol solution by GC. further processed by SPE C18 columns. When purification was HPLC was currently the most widely used technique for PH performed with a semi preparative HPLC, a mobile phase with quantification with the help of different detectors allowing a hexane containing 1% diethyl ether was used. In some works, detection of PH or its derivative homologues. Analytical methods the sample purification was performed by washing the hexane available for the PH analysis in olive and vegetable oils were extract with polar solvents (methanol/water or water only).[38,47] resumed in Table 2 and 3 respectively. Most of listed works was However, Cook et al.[20] centrifuged their hexanic sample, which based on a reversed phase HPLC with octadecylsilane-bonded they then filtered through a 0.45 μm glass microfiber filter. C18 phase or much less frequently with triacontyl-bonded C30 Figure 3 summarizes the different steps, identified in the articles phase and seldom on normal-phase HPLC (silica). Little (cited references), for the preparation and the purification of differences were observed on column characteristics (length olive oil samples before their chromatographic analysis. or diameter) and no capillary columns were used as it was done Concerning the validation of these different extraction methods, for some food applications. The interest of using a C30 phase parameters as recovery, precision (repeatability and reproduc- was to make it possible the separation of the PH isomers E and Z ibility), linearity and specificity (peak purity), should have been unlike C18 phase.[20,29] The ability to separate PH isomers and to provided as Kim et al.[50] did it for the determination of PH quantify the E form accurately is very important because E content in legumes and nuts. Few authors specified the recovery isomer is the biological active form of PH while Z isomer is an of their extraction method. When a standard addition method inactive form.[52] Also, E isomer content measured the true was used, the authors made it clear that the recovery was nutritional value of PH.[29] Normal phase HPLC column allowed calculated as the percent difference between the PH quantity to separate E and Z isomers but its implementation was difficult recovered from the spiked and non spiked samples divided by which explained its lack of use in routine analyses.[43,53] Only one
